Is it possible to damage my Integra's VTECH system by driving in the rain? A friend of mine, who is more knowledgeable with Honda and Acura vehicles than I am, stated that driving a VTECH equipped vehicle (like my 2002 ITR) can cause problems with the operation of VTECH. I believe He said that the moisture content of the air can seep into the VTECH fluid lines, and cause premature deterioration of the VTECH fluid. My friend is a mechanic at a local Honda dealership, and said that the VTECH fluid lines are prone to leaking, and thus, moisture can enter the lines, mixing with the fluid and causing damage. Thank-you for any input.

 

Please do not call me a joke. My friend works for Honda, and has told me about this occurrence. I am only trying to ascertain the validity of his statement. The only other transportation that I have is my Suzuki GSX-R 1500R, and I really don't wish to ride it in the rain. Will the rain cause damage to my vtech system or not?

 

Yeah, tell me where that is so I can get hired too,
because obviously you need NO experience if he's telling you **** like that.

your car is FINE in the rain,[....]

No.

You would only cause damage specifically by driving in the rain if you were driving around w/the bonnet off or you had a cold air intake and drove through water so deep that you sucked water into the CAI.
